  What is Learn? Why should I use it?

  LEARN is SUSD's Learning Management System. Basically think of it as a digital version of your classroom, or a place where student can connect directly to a variety of web resources which you create and manage.

  A LEARN course page has three main areas; the Header Box along the top of the page, Topic Folders which are arranged below the header box, and Content Blocks which live along the side of your course page.

  Q: How might these different areas within a LEARN page correspond to different areas within a typical classroom?
